to your credit card company to authorize your purchase.
At certain times we may offer financing options with
or without third party participation. If you use a financing

systems behind our firewall. Once you type your personal
information, it is sent instantly, encrypted, directly
to our order processing system which is on a server
separate from our Internet server. To make sure you
have the latest security features on your browser, you
may want to download the most recent version of your
